Federal courts in Utah
Federal court records from Utah come from the following court (bankruptcy courts sit within the same districts):
- U.S. District Court for the District of Utah
Request a certified copy from the clerk of the district that issued your judgment, order or filing — a PACER printout won’t be accepted. The certified copy is then authenticated by the U.S. Department of State, not the Office of the Lieutenant Governor. Records from Utah state courts are different: those go to the Office of the Lieutenant Governor.
About the Federal Court Documents
How to apostille federal court documents — judgments, orders, and clerk-certified filings from U.S.
What the Office of the Lieutenant Governor can do
The Office of the Lieutenant Governor in Salt Lake City issues apostilles for documents signed by Utah officials — birth, death and marriage certificates from Utah registrars, Utah state-court records, and documents notarized by Utah notaries. It has no authority over federal documents such as FBI reports, USCIS certificates or IRS letters.
State offices set their own procedures and fees, so confirm current requirements with the office before submitting a state document.
